- The belt is so nimble it completely blew my mind when I realized it’s barely hindering my normal riding ability, I made this video to show there is very little restriction and the fun factor is just awesome, this is truly the future if you choose to go down this path, it’s addicting.
I am riding the Armstrong ma 1000 foil with 60 fuse and v tail is a great combo,1st day out on the hp 93.5 Armstrong mast adds that extra space for whipping turns in bigger waves. The 93.5 mast is paired well with foil drive but will probably mount it on 86.5 in the near future. The extra real estate helps out heaps on hard turns.
I am out at my local and surf the outside and stay on shoulder of my friends so every one can enjoy the line up, this is prone surfing with a boost when needed and should be used as such. You will see a double dip few times with no motor to show that you can connect and pump out with out power. Once you let off trigger your just a normal Foiler on the waves, ride with care.
I do not endorse setting up the battery pack other then what foil drive recommends. I set this up for my style of riding. - Zábava
Thanks to him, I get encouraged to be healthier and trying to be an early bird 🐦 after I was losing myself for so long being a lazy night owl :)
🤙🏼🤙🏼 back this winter
Always fun to watch Sky Rama shred at Lonely Palm.
Just great! 🤘🏼
Hybrid Foil Surf. 🤙 Thanks. It needed a proper name. To my knowledge, that name started here.
Your knowledge is correct 👍🏼 foil assist sounds like it’s for cripples 😂
🤣🤙@@skyramafoil Gen2 Max Power.....there, they fixed it.
@@foilfanatic max power assist 🤟🏼😆 all good to have a laugh. At end of the day I am having a blast.
That would be the answer to my foil problems here in the Bahamas as it’s deep water w super shallow reefs.. but Plenny a swells that keep going
Nice vid! Big reduction in perceived swing weight in the board with the box mounted on your back as opposed to on the deck? Smooth as ever!
Yeah indeed If you on a small board or use to a small board like me then it's a huge improvement. Of you running bigger boards in 50l plus or sups then mounting on deck is good if ya can balance it well on the board.
@@skyramafoil Thanks for the info.
@skyrie73 thinking about running the battery on your back style for some help learning downwinding. My concern is if you fall, how do you keep the cable from getting pulled and potentially pulling off the motor or battery? Short leash maybe?
Can you please make a video about this setup
Fun to watch! Which Armstrong Wing Surf board are you riding -- 4'0" or 4'5" or 4'10"?
4'0
Great Vid! How long does the battery last ?
Depends on a lot of factors. 30 to 40 mins about.
What foildrive you run? Assist Plus? And what size battery trying to figure out what to get
Big battery on the plus so I can hitchhike back out to keep the mayhem going 👍🏼
So nice!
Do you have a shorter than cable leash or are you using the cable as a leash?
The leash is shorter then the electrical cable, other wise it will rip out your wires at some point. Velcro the leash to the cable and attached leash to waist harness for clean set up.
Epic! 😎🤙🏾
Love that set
up also! Is that a straight leashe ? ...and what length is your power cable? I assume it was a custom cut from FD?
Update i now use Paracord to have no stretch at all to keep the electric cord nice n secure.
@@user-xr9rw8rb3h it's a custom add on with marine crimp. Best is get the 2m cable so no cutting involved and run shorter Paracord to waist harness with bowlan knot.
Sky, I’m trying to setup the same battery setup on the hip. What harness do you use to secure it to your back?
I use the camera harness for action cameras off Amazon.
@@skyramafoilis it a chest harness or does it sit on your hips? Can you give me a name of the product? It’s exactly what I’m looking for! Much appreciated!
@@hugohiga5445 hip harness for action cam. Try that on Amazon. Easy and many make same product.
Awesome. Thanks
Sky how far down the mast do you mount the motor pod?
Depending on mast size but 18 to 22cm most below 20cm slightly for better turns n less drag riding. 👍🏼
Hi how do you manage the battery connection if you fall down ?
150lb para chord tied to my belt and leash loop on board one foot shorter then electric cable! Super simple never ever ever use the cable as your leash. It's really all super simple to me and most. No issues and I have had huge over heap wipe outs at full speed.
I don't endorse deviation from foil drives recommendations do so at your own risk.
I ride sinker boards so I don't have much of choice for optimal set up and balance each to their own.
"ma 1000 foil with 60 fuse and v tail is a great combo" any shim with the v200?
Some times yes. Red or blue depending what I want to achieve.
Don't you find that the box gets a bit hot? The cooling surface at the bottom of the box seems to like being on the board so it gets some water cooling from time to time. Or do you just dunk your belt every so often?
No heating issues as my board is a sinker and definitely gets cooled off intervals, i reckon more cooled off then a 100l board that Nevers gets dunked? Was thinking of a cooling reflector like aluminum type tape to reflect heat out and keep it cool. The same tape they use for dings that's reflective would work excellent.
That being said there usually is a solution to every potential problem. 👍🏻 I think I'll do that tape today.
Nooooo you've turned to the dark side!
I found the light at the end of the dark tunnel. Electric age is in full swing, I can't seem to shake it.
